Zone Switcher

The zone switcher is accessed from the You tab. It is the core of Tr3sPass's three-zone security model.

How to switch zones:

  1. Tap the You tab in the bottom navigation bar
  2. In the Accounts / Mode section, tap Switch next to the zone you want to activate, or tap Turn On for Anonymous Mode
  3. The app switches to that zone's conversations, contacts, and settings

Zone indicators:

  • Red ring — Anonymous zone active
  • Blue ring — Verified zone active
  • Green ring — Secure zone active

Each zone operates independently. Your conversations, contacts, and privacy settings are separate per zone. Switching zones does not affect the other zones.

Why use multiple zones?

  • Use Anonymous for casual or private conversations where you don't want to share your identity
  • Use Verified for professional contacts and everyday trusted communication
  • Use Secure for sensitive discussions requiring maximum identity assurance
